To all whom 'it may 0011i cern.

Be it known that we7 O'rio J. Gnonii'x and FREDERICK L`- Aunis citizens of the Vnited States of meria. residin;f atDetroit, in the county oi. 1Wayne and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Iniprovernents in Radiators, of which the fol lowing is a specification. reference heilig;r had therein to the accompanying drawings,

The invention relates to radiators, and more particularly to radiators for engines of motor vehicles or the like.

The 4invention has among` the objects thereof to produce a simple and elicient Construction of radiator in which 4the water passages are separated from e'acliV other hy more than a sing-le row of air tubes; to provide such a type of radiator `which may he easily and cheaply manufactured.' Further, to provide sncha type of radiator in which the amount of material required forma-king; up the radiator sections ,is materially reduced over constructions now" in' use. f

Other objects ofltheinventien will more hilly hereinafter appear. lj

The invention resides in the {ieculiar dena struction;l arrangement and combination of parts as hereinafter. set forth and particuf `larly pointed out in the claims. v

In the .drawin'gs,-v Figure 1 is an enlarged fragmentary ver ltical sectional View;

" In the drawings, the cross-section of the Fig. 2 is an enlarged perspective view showing theI manner of assembling a unit;

Fig. 31s a top plan View illustrating the relation of `certain parts;

radiator cells is shown hexagonal, but the invention is equally adapted for use with ,l cells of other cross-stadions.'`

Referring to the one embodiment of the invention shown in the drawings, the radin tor AV is composed of a plurality of units B. The sides of adjacent units form the sides of the Water assages A andthe units are so sonstructe that the sides of adjacent Water Specification of Letters Patent.

passages are separated by plurality of rows of cells. Thus each et these units comprises 1ilates'( and l) and an intermediate plate or tin E. The fin E is shaped to loini cell portions with the `portions tor adjacent cells facing in opposite directions. ln the particular structure shown, each of such cell portions :Ecrins oiiehalijf of a liexagron. f The plate is similarly formed and when the plates and E are assembled in operative relation as shown in Fig. 1, there is formed a vertical row of hexagonal cells F 1in order to provide a second row of hexagonal cellsbetwcen the plates C and lhthe Yplate D which is of the saine general. configuration as the plates C and E; has a series of strips (il struck ont therefrom immediately' ad jacent its forward and its rear edges. The stri ps (l are shaped to 'form three sides of a hexagron and cooperate with the outwardly leent portions H of the plate D to provide .ano'tlier /iertical row I of hexagonal cells atthe front and hack ofthe radiator. When t e plates C D and E are assembled the cor* v ze ending cells oi the rows F and I are ,in horizontal' alinement. This l@gives 'a third vertical row J of: hexagonal cells, themembers o which are alternated with the mem bers of the 'rows F and l'.

The plates C andD are preferably formed voi a single strip of metal bent upon itself` the plate E engage the oppdsite ends N' of the plates C and D and are soldered thereto 0F DETROIT, MIGHGAN A CORJIWRATIOH if whentlie nracvliator is dipped. ,As the solder seals the joints ibetween the various interengagzing portions of' the plates, the 'front o f the radiator has the saine appearance as it would have if the rows of cells 'I and l werecornplete tubes extending from front to back ot' the radiator,

The forward and rearward edges of the plates C and D are embossed as indicated at 0, and when adjacent sections are assembled the embossedr portion acts to space the sections7 forming water spaces A therebetween in the weil-known manner, the strips tl lieingt so arranged that the embossed portion is not entirely cnt oft.- To assist in positioning the member C relation to the member E during the assenililingottlie parts, there is struck out :fromv the member E a plurality ofstrips or positioning sections@ .which are shaped toV tit .iose portions` of the plate C thatv formhalres oi thevcellsk F. Similarly in order to position the plate l) in relation to theplate i6, the latter is provided with a plurality of strips or positioning. sections b which. are` As shown iii Fig. 4 the strips are formed adjacent the t'roiityaiid rear edges of the plate li in an overlappin;r relation to the strips (i, wliereliy the strips and (il reintorre each other as shown at c.

The liar-lr Jface of the radiator is formed in the santev manner as described in connertion with the front face, and while there is shown in the drawings'liut Nvo-,series of positioning, sections a, it will lie readily understoodthat as large a numlifjer oi' such positioning strips asis desired may -lie employed. Similarly there m'ay lie ll as many ot the positioning and 'strengthening strips l; as is desired.

While a very desirable torni ot' the ini-cntion is shown iiy the"drawings, we do not desiretoiliniit thel protection to the particular struct ureilliistratei Vliat we claim as our invention is:

l.l In a radiator, a section composed ol a plateI shaped to form some ol the sides ot a i'ow of cells, said plate i portions adjacent its forward edge shaped to complete the sidesho said row of cells, a second plate also` shaped to forni sonic of the sides oi' a row' ot relis, and a third plate arranged intermediate said plates shaped to i'orm with the second' mentioned plate the sides ol a secondi row of cells.

2. In a radiator, a section composed of a plate shaped to forni sonic oll the sides ot a row ol' cells. said plate having); strueli--out portions adjacent its forward edgel shaped to -coniplete the sides of' said row of cells` a second plate also shaped to torni sonic ot the sides oila row ol' cells. a third plate arranged intermediate said plates shaped to iorni with the' second iiieiitz.ii.-d plate the sides ol' a second rowjot cells; and positioning strips Struck ont from one ot' said plates for engagng-another o? said pintas.

3. in a radiator, a section composed ot a strucli' out from the meniher having struck-ont ycorrugated plate shaped to forni some of the sides of a row of cells, said plate having struck-out poi-tions adjacent its forward edge shaped to complete the sides of said row of cells, a second plate also shaped to form some of the sides of a row ot' cells, a third plate arranged intermediate said plates shaped to forni with the second mentionedvplate the sides'ol a second row of cells, and positioning strips struck out from opposite sides of the thirdI plate for engaging the other plates.

4. In a radiator, a section composed of a plate shaped to form portions of a plurality of cells, said portions alternating with channel forming portions, said plate having struck-out portions adjacent its forward edge shaped to complete said cells, a second plate shaped to form portions of a. plurality ol cells, said portions alternating with .channel .forming portions, ar third plate ot contiguration similar to the second plate and co'iperating therewith to complete alternate cell portions of the second plate and shaped to form witlrthe struck-out first plate a row of cells.

In a radiatona section composed ofa plate shaped to form portions ot a plurality of cells, said portions alternating with chani.el toi-ming portions, said platehaving struckout portions on the inner face thereof and adjacent itsl Jforward edge shaped to complete said cells, a second plate shaped to forni portions of a plurality of cells alter-- .plate Jfor engaging thefirst and second plates.

6. ln a radiator, two parallel plates respectively having alternated inwardly and outwardly lient portions, 'ofstrips struck out from the outwardly lientpoi'tions oteach plate in a coinplen'ientary relation thereto, and engaging the inwardly lient portions of the other plate, the strips struck ont from the respective plates heinpr overlapped.

A radiator section` comprising three plates, foi-ming three rows ot similar polygonal cells, thel cells oi' one of said rows forming horizontally adjacent pairs with those of another. and the cells of the third row lieinp` alternated with said pairs.

S. lA radiator section comprisingr three corrugated plates` one intermediate the other two. coacting to forni three rows of liexag oiial cells. the intermediate plate having struck out portions eng-aging eac-.l1 of the other two plates to relatively position the three plates.

9. A radiator-section, comprising three portions of the llO corrugated lates,4 onev of which s intermecli'ate the ot er two, said plates coactngto.

form two outer ro'ws of hexagonal cells, the cells of one `of which adjoin those of the other, and a third row of hexagonalcells, which .are lspaced apart by the adjoining cells of the other two rows@ In testimony whareof we ax our signutures in presence of two Witnesses. OTTO J. GROEHN.
